Kansas to scale back free COVID testing in 2022

Kansas will start requiring employers, individuals and health insurance companies to pay some costs associated with COVID-19 testing next year, especially in programs for employers to test unvaccinated workers on a regular basis, reports U.S. News & World Report. The state Department of Health and Environment announced Nov. 19 that it will start phasing out free screening tests for people who aren't showing COVID-19 symptoms or who haven't potentially been exposed.
